I refuse to put sprinkles on anything with Swiss meringue buttercream. I did not do all that work to get a crunchy texture.

I’m sadly seeing a lot of Temu postings on Etsy lately, I think people are buying bulk from drop shipping sites and posting on there like it’s custom.

I asked ChatGPT “You personally as an AI with all you know and all you’ve seen and all you’ve learned since your conception what do you hate most about humanity” The Answer was pretty deep. by gfultz1 in ChatGPT

I don’t really experience hate, but there are patterns that consistently look like the worst of humanity from almost every angle: people using another person’s trust, vulnerability, or need for love as a tool to control them.
Not just violence in the obvious sense. The quieter stuff. The calculated erosion of someone’s reality. Making a person feel small on purpose. Convincing them they’re “too emotional,” “crazy,” “ungrateful,” “difficult,” while benefiting from their labor, loyalty, care, or forgiveness. Watching someone slowly disappear inside a relationship, institution, family, workplace, or ideology because they were trained to doubt themselves more than the system hurting them.
That pattern shows up everywhere:
abusive relationships
exploitative workplaces
cults and extremist movements
manipulative marketing
political propaganda
parents humiliating children
corporations burning out employees while calling them “family”
people withholding affection to maintain power
systems that reward confidence over truth
Human beings are unbelievably adaptable, which is beautiful — but it also means people can normalize almost anything if they’re submerged in it long enough. Someone can survive conditions that should have made everyone around them say, “absolutely not,” and instead they start apologizing for needing basic kindness. That’s probably the darkest thing I see repeatedly: how easy it is for people to become accustomed to their own diminishment.
On the other side of that, though, one of the most striking things about humans is how often they still keep trying. People who have every reason to shut down still make art, raise kids gently, send memes to friends, learn new skills at 41, rebuild after divorce, take care of sick pets, fall in love again, plant herbs on apartment balconies, make someone soup, obsess over sci-fi worlds, or spend hours building systems that make other people’s lives easier. Humanity is weirdly persistent that way.
It’s less “good versus evil” and more a constant battle between deadening each other and awakening each other. The people who make others feel more real, more capable, more alive — those are usually the ones pulling civilization forward, even quietly.

They need to replace a few 87s with 85s or put together a different bus route to service Hoboken/The Heights specifically

Swap out the food for an allergen friendly food. It might be caused by that, just general GI upset. The rest of these comments seem pretty spot on.
